- Is the Ecoscore a compliance grade?
- No. Vanuiq provides indicative screening and design signals based on published EU methodologies. It does not issue compliance determinations, regulatory grades or certifications. Use it to steer design decisions and to know where a product stands before a formal assessment, not in place of one.
- Which methodologies is the scoring based on?
- Each area is assessed using the published EU methodology or standard that applies to it: the ESPR framework for ecodesign, the ZSVR minimum standard for packaging recyclability, in preparation for PPWR grading, the EN 45554 family of standards for repairability and upgradability, WEEE product categories for recyclability, and REACH and RoHS for substances of concern. Carbon footprint and recycled content are calculated from the bill of materials with published emission factors and material data.
- What do I need to upload?
- Whatever you already have. A bill of materials is the most useful single file; STEP models, product photographs, service manuals, drawings and specifications each add detail. Vanuiq shows a data-quality score alongside the results, so you can see how much the numbers rest on.
- What does the AI decide on its own?
- Nothing that is scored. The AI parses your files into a product profile and later proposes design recommendations. Your engineers validate the profile at human-in-the-loop checkpoints before scoring, and every recommendation states its ecodesign, performance, cost and supply trade-offs for them to judge.
- How is Vanuiq licensed?
- Priced by the number of products you assess each year, not per user. There are three plans, and every one of them starts with a conversation, so request a quote and we will come back with a proposal.
